The original IMA buffer data measurement sizes were small (e.g. boot
command line), but the new buffer data measurement use cases have data 
sizes that are a lot larger.  Just as IMA measures the file data hash,
not the file data, IMA should similarly support the option for measuring 
the hash of the buffer data.

Measuring in-memory buffer-data/buffer-data-hash is different than
measuring file-data/file-data-hash. For the file, IMA stores the
measurements in both measurement log and the file's extended attribute -
which can later be used for appraisal as well. For buffer, the
measurements are only stored in the IMA log, since the buffer has no
extended attributes associated with it.

Introduce a boolean parameter measure_buf_hash to support measuring
hash of a buffer, which would be much smaller, instead of the buffer
itself.

By definition, buffer data is only measured.  Nothing new is added by
the above paragraph.  Please remove it.

Like the patch Subject line use "the buffer data hash" instead of the
"hash of a buffer".

There's no need to include the boolean parameter name
"measure_buf_hash".  Please remove it.

Please abbreviate the boolean name to "hash".   The test would then be
"if (hash == true)" or "if (hash)".

IMA always measures/appraises files and measures buffer data based on
policy.  The above sentence succintly summarizes what
process_buffer_measurement() does.   This patch adds support for
measuring the "buffer data hash".   The following would be an
appropriate change.

* Based on policy, either the buffer data or buffer data hash is
measured

This patch should be limited to adding "buffer data hash" support. 
These changes don't belong in this patch.  Please remove.

I don't see a good no reason for defining a new audit cause.  Use the
existing "hashing_error".

Hi Mimi,
There already exist a local struct variable named "hash" in p_b_m().
I was thinking of using "buf_hash", but that one is taken too.
Maybe I should use "buf_hash" for the input bool, and rename the
existing "buf_hash" local variable to "digest_hash"?
Does it sound ok?

Thanks,
Tushar
